It's a long story...
As some of you know, I have weekend classes for my masters degree. Now, in these classes, it is not unusual to have classmates that are older than you. I am not referring to around two or three years older - think next generation older. Some of my high school teachers are my classmates in research class. XD

Now, last Saturday, in our statistics class, one of my older classmate who sits behind me kept asking me about some stuff regarding the topic. It didn't bother me much. It's good to help others in need.

Then this much older man sat in front of me and later also started asking questions, though not as much. Do I look like I know all these stuff? I honestly don't. In fact, I was clueless and have to sometimes glance around to see how in the world a frequency distribution table is achieved. I guess I just have an easy way of grasping things, plus the fact that some of those stuff are still familiar back in my college days, and they seemed to have stopped school ages ago.

I somehow managed to survive the class. At the end of the subject, the older guy approached me asking about the assignment. It so happened that he was sleepy in the class and was not able to get the dictated assignment. That assignment was initially a seat work, but since we were not able to finish it, it was tasked as an assignment - with added stuff, of course.

When I said old, I mean "he can be my grandpa" old. If not that old, at least close to my dad's. I was a bit considerate and let him copy the given data. Every now and then he'll ask a question about where this number was from, this is a constant number because..., or how did you get this solution...; he even copied the seat work.He was being a bit pushy to the point of jotting down my phone number if he has any more questions.

Am I that kind? I guess this is a classic example of a guy taking advantage of another person.

Don't worry though... when it comes to the point that he pesters me, I'll cease to help him.
